I'm posting this question to both the developer's and user's list. Everybody's thoughts and comments are welcomed.
Bug report 676 (http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=676) was submitted requesting that the default window placement be changed from "Smart" to Centered. A patch was provided to make that change.
What do you think?
do you understand what this option does? Do you understand how this will affect all users?
This is clearly a case of "we change the window manager without understanding how the window manager works". Please just stop your work on twin and just use the upstream KWin. We very well evaluate what are good options and we know how such a change would affect all users.
You have so much work to do, why spend it on discussing a default setting for a window manager? Just use what upstream does.
